Self-Guided Tours

Your schedule doesn't work with ours?

Not sure about riding with a group?

The tour you want is not on our schedule for 2007?

You need a more economical motorcycle vacation?

Consider a SELF-GUIDED Tour!

 

We've built a reputation for offering world-class guided tours.  GREAT RIDING each and every day and our personal attention to detail and  is what sets us apart from the rest. Each year we get more calls than ever about our tours, but unfortunately not everyone is able to go with us.

So this year we're offering several of our most popular tours with a Self-Guided option.  It's also possible to take tours that have been on our schedule in the past, but are not offered in 2007.

We provide:

  • Rental Motorcycle (or ride your own)
  • Hotel Accommodations
  • Tour Book
  • Maps and directions, including alternate routes
  • Information on attractions along the way
  • Advice about other points of interest
  • Even suggested meal stops
     
  • Optional GPS navigator, pre-loaded with daily routes and points of interest.  Additional cost is $15 per tour day, plus shipping.

 

 

In short, you'll have almost the full experience that you would have on a guided tour.  Of course there's no support vehicle or professional tour staff, but you've got the freedom to ride at your own pace and enjoy the trip in your own way.

You DO get our personalized service in planning your self-guided tour.  We'll modify the itinerary if you wish, make the tour shorter or longer, or give you a price with an alternate mix of the components on the. 

In most cases, there is no extra cost to customize a Self-Guided Tour (unless you wish to upgrade accommodations, add days, etc.)
